The top bid for right-hander Yu Darvish's negotiating rights will exceed the $51.1 million bid for Daisuke Matsuzaka in 2006 as the highest in the history of posting of Japanese players, according to a report. The Red Sox put up $51.1 million for Dice-K five years ago and he has disappointed since. Citing Japanese baseball officials, Saturday's report contradicts the previously reported amount of about $48 million to be paid to the Nippon-Ham Fighters. The Blue Jays, Mariners, Marlins, Nationals, Rangers, Red Sox and Yankees are among the Major League teams that have been mentioned as possibly in the sealed bidding for the negotiating rights for the right-hander's services.
